Most of the smoothies I make don't require any special blender, but for this one, a Vita-Mix (or other industrial strength blender) is key.
First, use an unreasonable amout of leafy greens: kale, spinach, chard, etc... Like 6 cups.
Then add some cooled green tea - about a cup. Blend until really smooth.
Add: 3 apples, 2 peaches, 1/2 pineapple, a few blueberries and/or cherries. Blend until smooth. A banana would probably be yummy too, but I was just using what I had on hand. The Vita-Mix really can handle this much volume.
Add: one cup Greek yogurt, tablespoon honey, and vanilla to taste.
This makes a full blender - about 64 oz. So it will last you a day or two. Keep covered and refrigerated.
